Watlow Mineral Insulated Strip Heaters​

Product Overview

The Watlow MI strip heater is a thin, responsive heater that uses the most advanced heater construction techniques.

Overview

A nickel-chromium element wire is embedded in Watlow’s exclusive mineral insulation material, which has a much higher thermal conductivity than the mica and hard ceramic insulators used in conventional heaters. This thin layer of insulation brings the element wire closer to the heater sheath. The result is heat flows easily from the element wire to the sheath allowing the wire to run cooler than conventional heaters and increasing heater life.
